Abstract

Newman (J. Appl. Phys. 34:437, 1963) first presented the use of semiconductor sources to pump a solid-state laser. The technology of diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPL) is now mature after more than 40 years development. DPL has attracted much attention in broad applications, such as industry, medical and military fields, scientific research, etc., due to the advantages of high efficiency, compact configuration, long lifetime, high reliability, and good beam quality. In this chapter, we firstly present a historical overview of DPL for four stages. Then, the principle DPL and related thermal effect will be introduced. Based on the theoretical analysis, different kind of DPL devices have been developed. Finally, the THz-wave generation using DPL technology also will be presented.
